Include popular icons in your React projects easily with react-icons, which utilizes ES6 imports that allows you to include only the icons that your project is using.
yarn add react-iconsnpm install react-icons --saveimport { FaBeer } from 'react-icons/fa';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}View the documentation for further usage examples and how to use icons from other packages. NOTE: each Icon package has it's own subfolder under react-icons you import from.
For example, to use an icon from Material Design, your import would be: import { ICON_NAME } from 'react-icons/md';
You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues.
You can configure react-icons props using React Context API.
Requires React 16.3 or higher.
import { IconContext } from "react-icons";
<IconContext.Provider value={{ color: "blue", className: "global-class-name" }}>
<div>
<FaFolder />
</div>

Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style.
// OLD IMPORT STYLE
import FaBeer from 'react-icons/lib/fa/beer';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}// NEW IMPORT STYLE
import { FaBeer } from 'react-icons/fa';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}Ending up with a large JS bundle? Check out this issue.
From version 3, vertical-align: middle is not automatically given. Please use IconContext to specify className or specify an inline style.
<IconContext.Provider value={{ style: { verticalAlign: 'middle' } }}>Component
<IconContext.Provider value={{ className: 'react-icons' }}>CSS
.react-icons {
vertical-align: middle;
